I'm patient with our clients, who are mostly seniors. I explain things so they can understand. I go above and beyond. My CS surveys are always 95% or above. As of next month, our adherence stats below 90% will earn us a verbal, written, then final warning. I'm sure everyone knows call volume and good service comes at a cost. In my case, lower adherence due to longer/more calls. We have new team members who aren't even a month out of training but are also being held to this standard! Why is great not good enough? It's not enjoyable to do my job under that much pressure!

Wow, that s a lot to sustain for a long-term employee nevermind a new employee. They should just be held to learn and as long as good is good it shouldn't be 90% or higher. I so agree with you!!! As long as you are not getting negative review after negative review who cares.

This seems extreme, especially for new employees. There has got to be some negotiation with your manager. Have you talked to them about your concerns?

I hear you! It's so unfair also, especially negative surveys and then they be like "You did great, it's just customer's mindset" but that negative point gets on your name and profile lol

These companies want you on and off the phone to handle the huge queue of calls they refuse to hire enough people to filter through. This is the corporate American way. If low taxes, huge exec bonuses, pleasing shareholders and padding all their own pockets off the back of our labor wasn’t enough, they have multiplied our workloads 10 fold while not upgrading infrastructure and cutting corners within the customer experience, all making our jobs harder.

I bought a house in the suburbs of Chicago at the top of the market. I ended up moving out of state in 2017 and short-selling. I am now interviewing for a VP Accounting role with the mortgage company that got shafted by the short sale. If I get the job offer, can they/will they see this on my credit report? Can they pull the offer due to this? Should I tell them before we advance further?
